Hi there, I'm Edward, one of the co-founders. The OS that the agent operates in is a fresh confined environment, and not a company or personal computer.

So how can it do anything useful without access to actual data?

Can it be installed on a conventional (personal or work) desktop?

Power and risk go hand in hand. Best approach is probably to run in a VM.

Yeap, that's exactly where the agents run in

I would assume this capability is meant to be used in a docker?

We explored using a containerized VM that exposed agentic controls in the open source version, but generally found that the cloud-based solutions were much faster to get started and easier to work with. Our repo contains adapters that work with several of the most popular cloud-hosted VM-as-a-service infra providers.

Definitely would be happy to be wrong and missed something here!
